Respite
The ability to rest, and also to know that all the necessary day-to-day things are being managed, reduces stress and increases personal independence.
Best of Care offers two in-home respite care programmes called Take a Break and Career Angels. These are initiaitves of the Australian Government National Respite for Carers Programme.
Take a Break is designed for to assist people who are primary caregivers. The programme is an in-home flexible opportunity for the caregiver to get a part time Personal Carer so they can Take a Break.
Take a Break and Career Angels enable the family care giver to have 16 to 24 hours of personal care/respite a month, on an on-going basis. This means that the care giver can take time out to do things for themselves - whatever it takes to recharge the batteries.
We understand that the caregiver needs to feel confident that their loved one is in good care and going to be having an enjoyable time with their Personal Carer. The care team at Best of Care is trained and experienced, making a positive difference for the person needing care, and their families.
Best of Care have Personal Carers in all areas of Bellarine, Surfcoast, Colac, Lara, Geelong and the surrounding districts, with a wide range of skills and expertise. With over 200 care staff, Best of Care can match up someone right for everyone. The personality of the Personal Carer is carefully selected to compliment the dynamics of the household and the personality of the person.
